Nepal’s economy expected to maintain growth momentum, World Bank says

Shocks in migrant-receiving countries such as the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Malaysia, could also slow growth, impacting international remittances.

Nepal's economic growth is projected to accelerate to 5.1 percent in the current fiscal year from 3.9 percent in the last fiscal year, driven by anticipated high tourist arrivals and increased hydropower and paddy production, according to the World Bank’s latest economic update, released on Wednesday.
